Not sure how I ended up on a thread for this age group but hoping to shed some light. My daughter was also at one of the clubs mentioned above as being more of a boys club with new things to come for the girls. We left in 8th grade and it was the best decision we could have made. We didnt realize the grass really was greener until the jump. At this age, keep your kid where theyre happy. As they get older and they decide if this is a long term goal for them, then kids will jump. It's been this way for many many years.

Totally agree, find a club that is having fun early on and not just about lacrosse (less stress) . Then train on the side and see how seriously your daughter wants to take it, and her commitment level to training. If she’s serious and you feel the club is not, get your daughter on a more serious club. Don’t wait too long after 6th grade. Going to be much harder after that. Spots will get harder to find on those teams.
